More Than She Wanted

-Whats in a Name:

Regina is sitting quietly at Granny's, sipping her tea and going through some paperwork when Maleficent shows up and drops a book right on the paperwork.

,,What's this?" Regina inquires and pulls her papers out from under the book.

Maleficent just gestures towards the book, and Regina takes a second look on the title: "The Complete Book of Baby Names."

,,Seriously?" she sighs. ,,We're doing this right now?

,,Yes," Maleficent says plainly and shoves Regina's paperwork out of the way.

,,But I'm working," Regina tries.

,,Well, I just gave you something else to work on. Naming our children."

,,Right. Got any suggestions?" Regina says and opens the book.

,,Not really. I was hoping you had thought about something."

,,I don't have all the answers."

,,You usually do."

A half an hour later, Regina's teacup is empty, the paperwork has been packed away, and they aren't anything the wiser. The book doesn't really offer any fantastic suggestions, and Maleficent has proven to be extremely unhelpful.

,,I don't see what's wrong with Diamond," she scoffs.

Regina lets out a long-suffering sighs. ,,I can't picture myself calling one of our children Diamond. It sounds ridiculous."

,,No it doesn't."

,,Yes it does. It's not even a name, it's a word."

,,Fine. What's your suggestion then?"

,,What about.. Lucia?"

,,Absolutely not."

,,Why not?"

,,Because it's a silly name."

,,No it's not, it's a great name. Very royal."

,,Exactly. You might be royal, but I'm not."

,,Fine. Your turn then."

Maleficent drums her fingers on the table and then gives Regina a hopeful look. ,,Opal?"

Regina claps a hand over her forehead.

,,Sapphira?"

,,Stop trying to sneak your damn gemstones in everywhere!"

,,Very well," Maleficent says and shoots Regina an annoyed look. ,,Your turn."

,,What about Anastasia?"

,,Your determined to make this about royalty."

,,What's wrong with Anastasia?"

,,Didn't your mother once know a girl with the name Anastasia? She wasn't very nice, was she?"

,,You're right." Regina deflates. ,,This is impossible. We'll never find proper names."

,,Of course we will."

,,How?" Regina snips. ,,We can't even agree on one name. ,,And we're only discussing girls names."

,,Well, we are having girls," Mal says confidently.

,,You don't know anything about that," Regina says and shakes her head.

Maleficent grabs the book and browses through it again, and Regina sighs deeply. This truly is a hopeless task. They can't agree on anything. And Maleficent is determined to name one of their children after a gemstone. Like hell that's gonna happen. Regina isn't gonna let her name one of their children Sapphira or something outrageous like that.

,,Maybe we should find ordinary names instead," Regina sighs.

,,Like what, Jessica?" Maleficent bites. ,,I would rather name her Maleficent then."

Regina chooses to ignore that. ,,And we should really look into boys names as well."

Maleficent flips through the book again, in the search of a spectacular name for a boy.

Regina tries her utmost to think of a brilliant, yet sophisticated name, but her brain isn't working with her. She can think of absolutely nothing, and she can't even blame it on pregnancy brain yet. Damn it, this is difficult. She would be grateful for one name right now. One name would be fantastic.

Their pondering is interrupted by Snow White and Zelena who enters the Diner and promptly walks up to their booth.

,,Hi guys," Zelena says as she and Snow sits down. ,,What are you up to?"

,,What does it look like?" Mal says and waves the book in their faces.

,,Oh." Snow says and grins. ,,Found any names yet?"

,,NO!" both women says in unison.

,,It's hopeless," Regina sighs and rubs her temples. ,,We can't agree on anything."

,,I still don't see the problem with the name Sapphira," Maleficent scoffs.

,,I do. It's a terrible name."

,,No it's not."

,,Yes it is!"

,,No it isn't!"

,,Don't get divorced over this," Zelena sniggers. ,,We can help you if you like, right Snow?"

,,Of course," Snow confirms with a smile on her face.

,,Well, it can't get any worse than the ones Regina have suggested," Maleficent says grimly.

,,Well excuse me for not wanting to name our children after gemstones."

,,At least my suggestions were better than Lucia!" Maleficent sneers.

,,There's nothing wrong with the name Lucia!"

,,There is everything wrong with the name Lucia."

,,Okay, relax," Snow admonishes. ,,How about…. Fiona?"

Maleficent makes a face. ,,Sounds a little princess-y to me."

,,The babies are part royal, Mal. You're gonna have to live with that," Zelena chuckles.

,,Fiona is a nice name." Regina says, and she can see that Mal actually agrees with her.

,,And what about Flynn for a boy?" Zelena suggests.

,,Fiona and Flynn?" Regina says and frowns.

,,I'm not sure I like the combination," Maleficent says. ,,But separately they are fine."

,,I agree," Regina nods.

,,Kiara?" Snow suggests, and both Regina and Maleficent quickly dismisses that suggestion. Kiara. What a horrible suggestion.

Both Zelena and Snow continues to suggest baby names, and some of them is quite decent, but none of them are exactly right. Maybe they will never find proper names for the babies.

,,Well, if you don't like Anastasia, what about Anya then?" Regina suggests halfheartedly. She doesn't really expect Maleficent to like it.

But the dragon pauses midsentence. ,,Anya?" she says and looks like she's trying a new dish. ,,Hmm. Not bad."

,,Are you serious?" Regina says mock shocked. ,,You actually like it?"

Maleficent nods. ,,Anya Mills-Ignis. It sounds kind of dangerous. Anya is definitely an option."

,,Wonderful. Let's write it down before we forget it." Regina quips.

Zelena quickly scribbles the name down next to Flynn.

,,Everleigh?" Snow suggests.

Maleficent frowns again. ,,I don't like it."

,,Write it down," Regina says quietly to Zelena. The redhead sniggers and writes the name down.

,,Damian?" is Zelena's next suggestion.

,,Write it down," Maleficent says promptly.

Regina chokes down her protests. Damian. What a terrible name.

,,Arya?" Snow suggests.

,,Absolutely," Regina says.

,,No!" Maleficent protests. ,,It's terrible."

,,Nonsense. Write it down."

Maleficent grumbles. ,,Vivienne?"

,,I thought you didn't like princess names," Regina taunts.

Maleficent glares at her and rolls her shoulders until they make a popping sound. Then she suddenly grabs Snow's hand and inspects the ring the princess is always wearing.

,,What the hell are you doing?" Regina says and frowns at the way Mal is staring at Snow's ring.

,,What kind of stone is that in your ring?" the dragon inquires and ignores Regina.

,,I thought you knew everything about gemstones," Zelena quips.

,,Say it," Maleficent more or less demands and looks at Snow.

,,It's an-an Emerald. Why?" Snow says bewildered.

,,Emerald," Maleficent repeats and looks directly at Regina.

,,Emerald," Regina echoes. ,,Em-e-rald. That sounds.. good."

,,Really?" Maleficent says hopefully, and a smile lurks in the corners of her mouth.

,,Yes," Regina smiles. ,,Emerald is a lovely name."

Maleficent returns the smile and takes her hand. ,,I think we found a name we agree on. Thank you, Snow."

,,But I didn't do anything," Snow chuckles.

,,Oh, you did plenty," Regina assures.
